ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for conveniently storing and retrieving leads associated with a patient monitor in a medical room. The apparatus comprises a rectangular plate having opposed top and bottom edges and opposed left and right edges. For each of the monitor leads a pair of spaced-apart, opposed hooks is mounted on the plate near opposed edges, with each of the hooks comprising a stem having a first end in contact with the plate and a second, opposite end and a longitudinal axis. An arm extends perpendicularly outwardly from the stem second end. At least one of each pair of hooks also has a means for allowing rotation of the stem and arm about the longitudinal axis. Accordingly, each of the cords can be wrapped around a pair of hooks for storage when the arms are facing away from each other and the cords can removed from storage by rotating the at least one hook so the arm faces toward the other of the pair.
